THE CONFEDERATE WIDOW'S SHORTBREAD
"The Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All" is an unlikely place to find a shortbread recipe. I have adapted the recipe which is found in the novel written by Allen Gurganus, 1984, page 761 (paperback version). Alfred a Knopf Inc., publisher. You can use all flour instead of the flour and cornstarch. Using the combined flour and cornstarch gives shortbread a melt-in-the mouth buttery goodness,

Steps:

- Outline six wedges into each round, with the tines of a fork.
- Place on a buttered, or parchment lined, cookie sheet.
- Bake 325 degrees, 20-25 minutes.
- Cool on wire racks.
- "Decorate tops with almonds, bits of cherries, angelica or citron", if desired. (I never do.).
- When cool, separate along the fork-outlined wedge lines.
- Store in an airtight container,.
